All major aristocratic families stood one after another, holding the number plates in their hands tightly, ready to move.
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Long Xingyuan's capable voice sounded again.
"Although this sword has a sword spirit, it has an unavoidable shortcoming. Its sword body is smelted from pure azure, which is an extremely thick metal."
"As you have just seen, the Qingzhi Sword is so heavy that it would take five big men working together to lift it onto the auction stage."
"Before auctioning, you should also consider whether you can lift the sword."
Obviously, Long Xingyuan's words aroused everyone's desire. Many strong men stood up and began to show off their well-developed muscles. Yun Wutian spoke immediately and said loudly.
"Isn't that the point? It's not really a shortcoming. With my strength, it's easy to lift this sword and demonstrate a swordsmanship."
"Hahahaha, what the young master of the Yun family said is that in front of a strong man, weight is not a disadvantage! In my eyes, this Shangfang Sword is a perfect treasure!"
"Ms. Long, don't be too pretentious. Everyone doesn't mind the shortcomings of this sword. Please reveal the starting price!"
For a time, the atmosphere at the auction site was enthusiastic, and enthusiastic applause also sounded.
The excitement in the audience infected Yu Yue. She turned to Su Li with an excited face, pushed him, and said excitedly.
"Brother Su, don't you use a sword?"
"This Shang Fang sword looks extraordinary at first glance. It also has a sword spirit!"
Qingyun also nodded and cast her warm gaze on Su Li, who was sitting next to her.
"From the moment this sword appeared, I felt the strong spiritual energy."
"How about this? Do you want this sword?"
Feeling the excited looks from the two women, one on the left and the other on the right, Su Li shook his head gently and said.
"From the outside, it looks like a sword full of spiritual energy, but in reality it's just a sword of death with gold and jade on the outside, but nothing but flaw in the inside..."
Seeing Su Li's serious expression, Qingyun was the first to ask.
"How do you say this?"
"Without a host for a long time, the sword spirit has completely lost its self-awareness, its aura has completely dispersed, and the remaining aura of its internal strength is probably about to be lost."
"The spiritual energy is gone, the sword's spirit is gone, and what's left is a useless and heavy green sword, of no use!"
Yun Wutian, who had been secretly observing Su Li, let out a disdainful groan from his belly after hearing Su Li's words.
"You country bumpkin, are you still here pretending to understand?"
"They also say that Shang Fang's sword is a death sword. Can't you feel the rich spiritual energy that it continuously emits?"
"Have you ever seen what a sword spirit is? Sorry, I forgot. You are just a complete and utter upstart country bumpkin. You probably don't even know what a sword spirit is, right?"
After a period of cynicism, the auction of Shang Fang's sword officially began.
Yun Wutian excitedly raised the number plate high, and his voice couldn't stop rising.
Under the generous and arrogant price increase from the young master of the Yun family, he finally fought hard and got the sword at a high price of one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones.
After the auction hammer was finalized, Yun Wutian did not forget to turn around and look at Su Li, and raised his eyebrows at him, which was full of provocation.
Su Li sat aside, completely ignoring Yun Wutian's behavior as a primary school student, and quietly waited for Zhuyan Danfang to appear.
The nine auction items finally came to an end, and Zhuyan Danfang made a shining debut as the final auction item.
Long Xingyuan kept her voice calm, but kept getting louder.
“Next, it’s time for the last lot!”
A yellowish scroll appeared in front of everyone. Long Xingyuan waved her hand and directed the light to fall on the scroll.
Under the light, the entire scroll looks even older, full of traces of time.
"The scroll placed in front of me is what all women, and even men, dream of."
"As beautiful as a flower, youthful and eternally beautiful!"
"Everyone must have heard of the best of all elixirs, the Zhuyan Dan. This scroll is the Zhuyan Dan Fang!"
After Long Xingyuan finished speaking, the entire venue became uproar.
The appearance of Zhuyan Dan aroused everyone's hearts. There were exclamations and noises mixed together. The atmosphere continued to heat up, and even the temperature in the auction venue also continued to rise a few points.
At this time, an old man with a white beard who continued to watch asked loudly.
"Miss Long, since this Beauty Pill is the supreme elixir, why does your Long family put this supreme treasure up for auction?"
The white-bearded old man hit the nail on the head, and immediately woke up everyone who was still immersed in excitement after raising the question.
The head of the Yun family, Yun Taitian, put down the cards in his hand and asked questions.
"Yes, since it is a treasure, why does it need to be auctioned?"
"Ms. Long, is this a fragment of the scroll? If it really is Zhu Yan Danfang, I don't believe you are willing to give it away!"
There were constant voices of doubt in the audience. Long Xingyuan raised the microphone in her hand and her powerful voice echoed throughout the audience.
"Everyone, the Long family will never sell you the scraps!"
"The reputation and status of the Long family have been accumulated over time. How could they do something so self-destructive to their reputation!?"
Everyone calmed down and waited for Long Xingyuan's next words.
"The first reason why the Long family came up with this elixir recipe is because they need a precious auction item as the finale."
"The second is that this elixir recipe is too mysterious and unpredictable, and the materials required for refining it are even more difficult to gather. The required heavenly materials and earthly treasures are scattered in every corner of the world."
"More importantly, this Beauty Pill requires a dose of medicine. It needs to collect the eight anises from the Octagonal Yanlong and use the smelted anise juice as the lead."
The Octagonal Dragon is the only creature among thousands of creatures that has a permanent appearance.
Although it is a species of dragon, it is small in size and appears in damp and cold places like the end of caves at the bottom of cliffs all year round. It often lives among other creatures to survive.
As a woman, why wouldn't Long Xingyuan not want to refine this beauty elixir?
Speaking of helplessness, Long Xingyuan's voice was a little low.
"Looking for the Octagonal Yanlong itself is a difficult task. The Long family does not have the extra energy to collect this natural and earthly treasure, so they chose this Zhuyan Danfang as the finale."
After learning all the reasons, some ordinary aristocratic families were already sitting safely in place, and only a few top leaders present were a little excited.
Although the difficulty of refining the Beauty Pill was high, it aroused the desire and interest of the strong. In the end, the starting price was set at fifty yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones.
The white-bearded old man who was the first to ask the question was the first to raise the number plate in his hand.
"One hundred middle-grade spiritual stones!"
The price was doubled as soon as he opened his mouth. As soon as the white-bearded old man made a bid, he immediately raised the fighting spirit of the other strong men in the foundation building stage.
